I discovered photography when I was living in Australia. I wanted to show my family and friends the beautiful landscapes of this very singular country and to share my new life and adventure with them.
Later on I started taking portraits of people and life scenes. Photography became an excuse to please my curiosity, to discover new angles of human beings and their cultures. I wanted to go where I had never dared to go before.
When I take pictures, I am traveling and experiencing new ways of living in which I can express myself and feel fullfiled.
With that same idea in mind of taking pictures in the heat of the moment, I started photographing weddings. I first took pictures of my friends’ weddings, and then little by little, through networking, I was brought to this very peculiar wedding universe that I enjoy.
What is important for me is to capture the moment and keep it real and authentic; every action has to remain spontaneous, every emotion has to be caught in an instant. That is why I am an active member of the WEDDING PHOTOJOURNALIST ASSOCIATION.
Every wedding picture is a challenge. I am 100% involved, living the emotion, and trying to keep it as real as I can in my photo reports.
Over the course of one day I tell your story and keep your memories . . .

I am in FRANCE: from May to August
I am in the USA: from September to May

The low and directional light beautifully emphasize the contours of her body as well as the texture of her skin. The loose lock of hair is sublime.

The perfect amount of light highlights this brideʼs face, chest and a playful lock of hair, for an arresting image of simplistic beauty. The shadows around her and the shallow depth of field bring it all together edge-to-edge.
